Originally posted by WTFH View PostI hate the idea of having to have an extreme diet - such as eating local and seasonal.
We should be allowed to fly our strawberries from Peru so we can have them on Christmas day, this idea of balanced diets is not like what we had when TheBore was young. Back then we had Gerry, the Blitz and rationing.
Today we have obesity, diabetes and climate change. And it's our right not to be radicalised into trying to reduce these diseases. Bring back smog and lead in petrol I say!The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment

It does get mentioned, but the normal response is that people in poorer countries must be stopped from breeding and there's nothing that can or should be done in wealthier countries.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Sounds like a recipe for fun, simply refuse to come to work because your coworkers are wearing leather shoes and coats, and you refuse to be part of a company that profits from such things.
Boom, can't fire me for my ethical beliefs.
I mean is there much difference in putting animal fat in your machine lubricants vs putting animal fat in your workers? The company could choose to use machines and people that do not consume animal products.
The whole thing sounds like one giant animal product of the male bovine variety to me.Comment

Or not. But slippery slopes are great things.
Did you read what the story was actually about?
The guy's problem is that an organisation that's supposed to be about animal welfare was actually investing in companies that did animal testing.
He will probably (hopefully) still end up sacked for leaking company information, but if it is found that he made the company aware and they chose to do nothing, then the result could be different.
As for your slippery slope, if someone chooses to take a job in an organisation that they detest, that's their problem.
If they choose to break the rules and get sacked for it, it's nothing to do with belief.
Do you spot the difference between that and your slippery spin?…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Originally posted by LondonManc View PostEveryone needs to do their bit. I was talking to a colleague from India and cutting down on breeding got mentioned over there. Those of the religion of peace were dead set against it because it was their God-given right to breed and have a big family. No helping some people - we definitely need a Thanos moment or some chlorine in the gene pool.
How many couples in the UK or US have more than 1 child? Those from the religion of child abuse and no contraception tend to have big families too, don't they?…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment
